I'm not afraid of you anymore
You are my whole life
I live off the breaths you leave here
That I consume while you're away
I can't split myself between you and the sea anymore
I can't stay still waiting anymore
I who would have lived with you
In your foreign city
Alone, with the instinct of someone who knows how to love
Alone, but still with you
I can't split myself between you and the sea anymore
I can't feel tired of waiting anymore
No, love no
I won't stand for it
Either you come back or you stay there
I don't live anymore
I don't dream anymore
I'm scared, help me
Love, I don't believe you anymore
Every time you leave
You swear it's the last time
I'd rather say goodbye to you
I search at night in every star for a reflection of you
But all this is not enough for me, now I grow
No, love no
I won't stand for it
Either you come back or you stay there
I don't live anymore
I don't dream anymore
I'm scared, help me
Love, I don't believe you anymore
Every time you leave
You swear it's the last time
I'd rather say goodbye to you
I can't split myself between you and the sea anymore
I can't stay still waiting anymore
I can't split myself between you and the sea
